Cincinnati Bell Wireless has partnered with U.K.-based SpinVox to offer a new service called Voice-to-Screen. Starting today customers can receive voicemails up to two minutes in length as text messages.

Bell is one of three worldwide carriers using the SpinVox technology and the first in North America. Pricing begins at $4.99 per month for 25 message conversions, but the service is offered in a variety of packages. Bell plans to offer the service to landline customers later this year.

SpinVox will be announcing additional deployments in North America and around the world in the months to come.
